#1 is an SCP that upon view takes your soul leaving your eyes black and body lifeless. The area around this SCP is cursed with wandering shadows wailing for their bodies. They have a loose connection to our world and can barely scratch at those with skin in false hope they can have it back. In an incident the shadows tore apart a staff member, writing in blood "they just want to feel"

#2 is a old vhs tv that plays exclusively children's movies, even if vhs tapes with other material is played a Disney movie replaces it. Those who watch it recall a feeling of child like wonder at the material if not told of the tv's true nature before hand. It was found in Afghanistan after a squad of terrorists went MIA in a apartment building their guns left on the floor in a half circle around the tv, with the only trace of them being a stack of vhs tapes with their name next to it. When played the solider tapes portray videos of twisting raw dermis skin bleeding and flayed with screaming mouths, this screaming is played with loud vhs static. Those who watch the solider tapes describe the thing depicted as resembling what could be a former human twisted into a square as to fit the screen size. When testing the tv the foundation played vhs tapes those watching disappeared, a stack of tapes appeared next to the tv with the names of those who watched it. 1 D-Class and 2 Scientists. The scientist tapes depicted a children's movie only with the protagonist replaced with a younger version of them. The D-Class a child predator and murderer tape depicted a bloated and deformed former D-Class suffering from multiple infections twisted into a square to fit the screen oozing pus from sores in his skin.

This actually gave me "Shadow Realm"/"MIND CRUSH" vibes from the firs YuGiOh series. Not too sure about this. The fact that you actually mention wailing shadows just sort of ups the narm.

How does the shadow go from barely able to scratch to tearing apart a human? That escalated quickly. Seems excessively dramatic.

Why does this even happen anyway? Why would the object exist? Just to make people's lives miserable for the heck of it?

#2 I don't recommend this either.

I'm not entirely sure about the mention of the Disney franchise.

What does terrorism have to do thematically with these VHS tapes? The backstory seems a little shakily constructed.

I personally don't think the Foundation would run tests with multiple people watching the tapes at a time. Trials would likely be conservative to start out with, until the effects are better-understood. That's just general good experimentation guidelines.

I have no idea why there's the sudden "D-Class a child predator and murderer tape depicted a bloated and deformed former D-Class suffering" imagery.

Personally, this feels pretty overdramatic, with a lot of elements thrown in to really push hard for the horror element. There's only so much emphasis you can put on in-universe people suffering to try and make the audience scared, but that sort of formulaic approach is very common in horror media.

I dunno. I'm not great with writing horror myself, but these concepts seem a little like rehashes of popular horror media without bringing anything unique to the table to catch the attention of a reader.

Why do you have this focus on suffering? Why is that a topic you want to write about?

This actually gave me "Shadow Realm"/"MIND CRUSH" vibes from the firs YuGiOh series.

It's actually the second series if you count that one from Japan which was super violent and depressingly bad. The second thing being about VHS tapes, an inexplicably common element of the same era in the franchise, doesn't help this comparison, but I digress. Give me a moment while I switch my nerd hats.

I think a common problem with both of these is that none of the elements really gel together or connect in any meaningful way. A lot of them are very "this thing is here" and "now this thing is here" without any kind of glue or segue. One of the things I like to do when developing a skip is to boil it down to two sentences. Try writing a two sentence version of your concept using as few commas as possible. What does that look like? That will help you nail down what kind of story you're trying to tell and simplify what your anomaly actually does.
